A Complete Kitchen Transformation, All Under One Roof
When longtime Iron Range homeowners came to Pohaki ready to tear their kitchen down to the studs, they didn’t need to go anywhere else to make it happen. From the first sketch to the last appliance install, this full kitchen gut and redesign came together right here — cabinetry, countertops, flooring, fixtures, and appliances, all sourced and coordinated through Pohaki.
That’s the difference between hiring a designer (alone) and working with a one-stop shop.
No juggling five different vendors, no guessing whether the finishes will actually match, and no gaps in communication between the people picking the materials and the people installing them.
Designer Nicki led this project start-to-finish, and the result is a beautiful, custom kitchen space.
A Cabinetry Combination That Does the Heavy Lifting
The foundation of this redesign is a two-tone cabinetry pairing: DuraSupreme cabinets in Maple Linen White anchor the space with a warm, timeless neutral, while Great Northern Cabinetry in Smoky Blue adds depth and contrast on the island and lower cabinets. It’s a combination that blends both classic and current. It’s bright enough to open up the room with just enough color to give it personality.
Tying the two cabinet lines together are Hardware Resources Merrick Pulls in a mix of Satin Bronze and Matte Black. Mixing metals on purpose, rather than matching everything exactly, is what gives a kitchen like this its custom feel instead of a straight-out-of-a-catalog look.
Surfaces Built to Work as Hard as They Look
Cambria Whitendale countertops sit on top of it all: a quartz surface that’s both practical and beautiful, and ready to handle daily cooking, baking, and cleanup without losing its beauty. Underfoot, Lions Floor Indoor Delight flooring carries that same durability through the whole room, built to handle an Iron Range household year-round.
The backsplash is where this kitchen really shines: Glazzio Tile Finesrta adds texture and shimmer that catches the light and pulls the whole color palette together, bridging the warm white cabinetry and the smoky blue accents.
Fixtures That Finish the Story
At the sink, a Karran Quartz apron-front sink pairs with a Karran Scottsdale faucet for a coordinated, farmhouse-meets-modern look that’s built to last. And rounding out the space, Pohaki-sourced GE Profile appliances bring the kitchen into full working order.
The Real Advantage: One Team, One Vision
Full kitchen “gut” projects on your own can get complicated fast.
Coordinating cabinetry, countertops, flooring, tile, plumbing fixtures, and appliances usually means working with multiple showrooms, multiple delivery schedules, and multiple people who’ve never actually seen each other’s selections side by side.
At Pohaki, that’s not how it works.
Nicki and the Pohaki team handled every piece of this project: from cabinet finish to faucet finish, all under one roof, with one cohesive vision guiding every decision.
We also tapped into our list of trusted, local contractors to help bring this project to fruition.
That’s what a fourth-generation, family-owned home improvement and appliance retailer can offer that a big box store or a design-only firm can’t: real product knowledge across every category, all in the same place.
If you’re staring down a kitchen remodel and dreading the idea of managing it all yourself, this is exactly the kind of project we love.
